A utopianism/agroecological utopia is exposed, theorized from southern epistemology, agroecology and transdiscipline. Utopianism evaluates the application of innovations in corn management, identifies and groups corn growers by their yields and proposes as an agroecological utopia the technological pattern applied by efficient milperos at the local level, nurtured by a dialogue of knowledge, which can expand the less efficient milperos food production. The research found that all efficient producers handled corn as a milpa, where radical and progressive innovations interact, and that the corn producers of low and medium productive efficiency Cohetzala and San Nicolas do not fully satisfy the consumption of corn, but if they applied the technological pattern of efficient corn growers, their yields would grow by 91-24% in Cohetzala and in San Nicolas by 150-38%, respectively.
